Dbussone alluded to a church ministry at his parish. My church, St George Anglican in Ocala, is formalizing a network system (which is in place informally already) to take those unable to drive to appointments and to just spend time with our members who are alone - including couples- so that these people can realize that a church 'family' really is a caring family unit.

Great posts above on this thread and great topic.

Your church is a blessing to those in need. Great works done in His steps. As I've said on a number of occasions, a caring network of friends and loved ones is indispensable as we age.
